•The transmission will not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; it
will downshift to a lower gear and then shift into 1 (First) when the
vehicle reaches slower speeds.
Forced downshifts
•Allowed in
(Overdrive) or Drive.
•Press the accelerator to the floor.
•Allows transmission to select an appropriate gear.
Understanding the shift positions of the 5–speed automatic
transmission (if equipped - diesel engines only)
This vehicle is equipped with an Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy.
Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy offers the optimal transmission
operation and shift quality. When the vehicle’s battery has been
disconnected for any type of service or repair, the transmission will need
to relearn the normal shift strategy parameters, much like having to reset
your radio stations when your vehicle battery has been disconnected.
The Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy allows the transmission to
relearn these operating parameters. This learning process could take
several transmission upshifts and downshifts; during this learning
process, slightly firmer shifts may occur. After this learning process,
normal shift feel and shift scheduling will resume.
P (Park)
This position locks the transmission and prevents the rear wheels from
turning.
To put your vehicle in gear:
•Start the engine
•Press the brake pedal
•Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear
To put your vehicle in P (Park):
•Come to a complete stop
•Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park)

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH (DIESEL-POWERED AND
STRIPPED CHASSIS VEHICLES ONLY)
This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine
when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt.
After an accident, if the engine cranks but does not start, this switch
may have been activated.
On diesel-powered vehicles, this
switch is located in the front
passenger’s footwell, by the kick
panel.

Passenger compartment fuse panel
The fuse panel is located to the left of the brake pedal and mounted
onto the lower left cowl panel. Remove the fuse panel cover to access
the fuses.
WARNING:Always disconnect the battery before servicing high
current fuses.
If your vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary battery,
disconnecting the primary under-hood battery DOES NOT remove
power from all circuits.
To remove a fuse use the fuse puller tool provided on the inside of the
fuse panel cover.
The fuses are coded as follows.
